 Posted: Fri Nov 16, 2007 9:13 am Post subject: Bought KLC-1 on Ebay w/controller Question????????? |
 |
|
Hello everyone.
I just bought the KLC-1 with MS-20 controller on ebay. As you might have already guessed, I installed the software, and of course the Auth. code is not accepted at korguser.net.
The person I bought it from said it was never installed on a computer, but whatever, the code doesn't work.
My version doesn't have the dongle just all the code crap.
My question is this...
If I completely uninstall legacy collection and re-buy the latest version and install, will I be able to use the MS-20 controller I own with the new Legacy software?
If not I have the coolest looking paperweight around
Thanks for any help, I've searched all over this forum! |

Oh, one more...
Would I buy the Legacy digital edition to use my MS-20 controller?
This is all so confusing  |

"This authorization code already registered, Choose Re-issue from the log in page"

The controller should work just fine as a standalone USB keyboard/controller with any software that you own. If you buy the KLC Analog Edition that includes the MS20, Polysix and MonoPoly you should be able to use it with that.
The Digital Edition is the M1 and Wavestation emulations, so that's not the package you're after ... it's a lot of fun though

Daz, thanks for the response, but the whole point of my questions above is that the ms-20 controller does not work. The ms-20 controller does not show up with any software. My other controller was no problem. I've installed the driver from the KLC-1 disk. In control panel it states that the driver is not working properly. I then tried rolling it back to no avail.
I thought the controller was not working because I can't get the proper challenge/code.
Help, I really want to be able to use this controller and the KLC analog software!! |

Ah, you didn't actually say that thus far
Maybe it's not getting enough juice from the USB port, or you haven't turned on the power/volume switch on the right hand end, or maybe you have too many MIDI devices installed for Windows to cope with ... etc. |

Daz,
Thanks again for responding.
I have one other midi controller connected. I've tried disconnecting it.
I am on XP service pack 2
I am using the same usb port as when installed.
I am using the MS-20 driver which came on the disk.
The MS-20 controller shows up in the control panel hardware list
I have the power light 'on' on my MS-20 controller.
The MS-20 is definitely getting enough juice from the USB.
The MS-20 does not show up available in any host program I try.
What can I do |

It looks like this...
This was discussed on another thread here without resolution. |

Unfortunately I am a Mac guy, so this isn't my area so much. Any other Windows folks here want to throw something in the ring ?
I know that the problem described in the RME tech note I posted above can often be the cause of these kinds of weird problems with MIDI devices under Windows. Have seen a lot of problems here that came down to that.

Hopefully Jerry from Korg can pipe in here. I think the drivers are no good.
I've installed/used other brand midi controllers on my XP sp2 PC with NO problems. The ms-20 controller just doesn't show up in any host programs I use.
I've tried the old Korg midi driver that came on the KLC-1 Disk and also downloaded the latest. Nothing changes.
I've now spent hours on forums trying to resolve this and am getting extremely frustrated, this is ridiculous. |

I'm on a Mac too but I can confirm that the controller will not work on a hub, like the ones built into Mac keyboards and monitors. Hubs don't pass enough power for it. I have to plug mine straight into the back of the Mac before it's seen by the system.
Kind regards.

The USB Midi drivers work fine. There is actually only one "Korg USB Midi driver" software which is shared between the MS-20, Triton Extreme, etc.
The message in your picture above means something is WRONG with the USB Midi driver installation. The midi driver is completely separate from the KLC-1 virtual instrument software, and your screen should state "working properly".
As I mentioned in your other thread, you should be contacting/phoning Korg USA Product Support. They can get you fixed up.
** ALSO SEE MY RESPONSE IN YOUR OTHER THREAD **
Given you received a "authorization code already registered", I suspect your Seller DID install the KLC-1 software and register it.
** Update **
I found your e-Bay auction -- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190173137170
The Seller DOES state in his ad:
| Quote: | | The controller has only been used once. I attempted to register the software, but I could never get the license code to work, so I gave up. I am including the software as a free bonus--but there is no guarantee that it will work, but you are welcome to try. |
Therefore, your problems trying to install the KLC-1 software are not Korg's fault AT ALL. You are trying to authorize software that was purchased by another user, and Korg's software licenses are NOT transferrable. To get the KLC-1 software working (forgetting about the MS-20 controller for a minute) you would have to work with the Seller to obtain a new authorization code (since this would be sent to the email that he used to register the software).
Just FYI, the KLC-1 software was a challenge/response "authorization code" system up until version 1.2, when it changed to a Syncrosoft USB dongle licensing system. When using the Syncrosoft dongle, the license physically resides on the USB dongle itself. |
